Migration policy: from control to governance
Saskia Sassen
It may look like one step forward and two back, but the European Union has actually accumulated a series of innovations that move it towards governing, rather than controlling, immigration inside the EU. This move towards governing is gaining strength even as national governments in the EU continue to speak the language of control.
At the same time, strengthening control is what the European Union is gearing up to do when it comes to immigration from outside its borders. Its first effort was to construct the equivalent of the Maginot line on its southern and eastern perimeter. It did not fare much better than that older defence line. Now it is moving towards the construction of a sort of Berlin wall across the Mediterranean and into the Atlantic – with the Islas Canarias (Canary Islands) the emblematic object of control-lust. History has given its verdict on the Berlin wall – and it was built on solid ground. The EU is trying to construct a Berlin wall on water.

Havia uma formiga
compartilhando comigo o isolamento
e comendo juntos.
Estávamos iguais
com duas diferenças:
Não era interrogada
e por descuido podiam pisá-la.
Mas aos dois intencionalmente
podiam pôr-nos de rastos
mas não podiam
ajoelhar-nos.
(José Craveirinha, Aforismos)
